    Eco bamboo tours are outstanding. All communication with Edison (the owner) beforehand was clear and v responsive. We got a great deal with 10%off and some free upgrade accommodation as we booked so early (6 months) plus a personal tour with our guide Herbert and his amazing pop up van. They are a small, specialised, local, community based company. The company gives a percentage of profits to the community (we saw some of the water wells and benefits of this). Edison met us personally at the end for our feedback. Herbert was an outstanding tour guide. All organisation throughout was meticulous. His knowledge and passion for the job and animals shone through. Herbert was personally clearly invested in ensuring we had the best time and couldn’t do enough for us. We saw all the animals plus more we wanted including elusive hyenas and leopards on the last night time game drive. Herbert’s ability to drive through rough terrain and spot animals whilst we were standing up looking through the roof was amazing. And brilliant. Plus he answered any questions including the agriculture, people, animals, politics and more. The tour involved a huge amount of driving across Uganda with 3 different safaris, 3 treks, 2 boat drives and 1 nighttime as well as Murchison falls. All done with consummate skill and care. (15 point turn on single dirt impassable track in middle of African plains anyone?) We always felt safe and supported - particularly important as 2 women travelling together. All treks (gorilla, golden monkey, chimps and rhino) Herbert ensured we specifically knew our ranger/porter and they knew us. Ugandan people were lovely and welcoming everywhere. (Even immigration!!). Rightly proud of their country. And the animals…. We saw the big 5 plus mountain gorillas, giraffes and more. Truly an epic adventure. I would have no hesitation recommending bamboo ecotours from our experience. 10/10.

    Steve

    Asked on December 5th, 2022

    What are budget accommodations? Do they include a bathroom?

    Accommodation
    • Bamboo EcotoursOperatorWritten December 2022

      The difference between budget and mid-range accommodation is in the rooms' comfort and service. Midrange lodges tend to have bigger rooms, and the lodges have better amenities compared to budget lodges. However, the budget room will also have private bathrooms.

      Steve

      TravelerWritten December 2022

      Would the Kasenyi plains game drives & Kazinga channel boat trip, stay at Queen Elizabeth NP be a better option to miss?

    • Bamboo EcotoursOperatorWritten December 2022

      The boat trip is quite unique to this park, and I don't recommend missing it. If you are planning to do another safari in Kenya or Tanzania, then missing the Kasenyi plains game drive is not a big deal.

    Asked on April 17th, 2022

    Could I have a bit of information on the camping?

    Accommodation
    • Bamboo EcotoursOperatorWritten April 2022

      The 7 Day Gorillas, Wildlife, Lake Bunyonyi and Chimp Trek is a midrange trip, which means you will have comfortable lodges with ensuite rooms when you book the tour. Accommodation for our trips is usually in three tiers: Budget accommodation, Midrange/comfortable accommodation, and Luxury accommodation. This tour falls in the mid-tier, which is the midrange.
